Springer Students Win Awards at Hyde Park Art Show

Press Release- Friday, October 10, 2014

Two students who attend Springer School and Center received awards for their artwork at the Hyde Park Art Show on October 5, 2014. Eighth grader Josh Campbell won a 3rd place ribbon for his drawing of a leaf in pencil and charcoal. “I’m so happy!” said Campbell, a Loveland resident. “I was surprised at how well the drawing turned out.”

Seventh grader Reilly Walter’s “op art” drawing in colored pencil also won a 3rd place ribbon. A resident of Hyde Park, Walter was excited to hear her work had won an award. “It took a long time to fill in all the little spaces,” she said, “but I had fun with the project.”

Both Campbell and Walter are students of Springer art teacher Corrinne Thaler. I’m proud of both students for their awards,” said Thaler. “Josh has a great work ethic, and his blending on the drawing was very well done. Reilly has a wonderful sense of color, and she does a great job choosing colors that go together well."

Springer School and Center is a day school for children with learning disabilities in Hyde Park.

"We had been contributing to a college fund for Avi, but by the end of fourth grade we realized that if something didn’t change, we would never need that money. We had a complete educational assessment done, and when Avi heard the diagnoses of dyslexia, dyscalculia and ADHD, she cried tears of relief. Now we had something we could work with!” - Tiphanie, parent of 2016 Springer graduate
